Client DB was convicted of possession of drug paraphernalia in absentia. The problem was that DB never knew about the charge, never was notified, never was arrested, nor served with the complaint. The officer only mailed the complaint, which was insufficient due process, and actually mailed it the wrong address, even presuming mailing could be sufficient notice, which  it was not. Such was a violation of due process.

Fast forward 8 years later, when DB came to learn about the conviction. DB hired Adam Pollack, who filed a motion to set aside the conviction, which was granted. The State then filed a motion to dismiss, which was granted. The Court then granted a motion to expunge. The case is now gone from my client’s record!
